Vísar Style Guide

HTML & CSS for Vísar.is

This Style Guide

This is a collection of CSS styles and corresponding HTML elements that are currently being styled. Use this code to develop the front-end of your website. A large part of this code was hacked from the Skeleton Framework. The CSS styles are all broken apart into smaller more easy to manage LESS files which need to compiled to see the changes affect the main template.css file. If you're unfamiliar with LESS I suggest CodeKit for Mac OS, or Grunt (which uses Node.js) for other platforms

About Skeleton?

Skeleton is a small collection of well-organized CSS files that can help you rapidly develop sites that look beautiful at any size, be it a 17" laptop screen or an iPhone. It's based on a responsive grid, but also provides very basic CSS for typography, buttons, forms and media queries. Go ahead, resize this super basic page to see the grid in action.

3 Core Principles

Skeleton is built on three core principles:

  • A Responsive Grid Down To Mobile: Elegant scaling from a browser to tablets to mobile.
  • Fast to Start: It's a tool for rapid development with best practices
  • Style Agnostic: It provides the most basic, beautiful styles, but is meant to be overwritten.

A Beautiful Boilerplate for Responsive, Mobile-Friendly Development

What Is It?

Skeleton is a small collection of CSS files that can help you rapidly develop sites that look beautiful at any size, be it a 17" laptop screen or an iPhone. Skeleton is built on three core principles:

responsive
Responsive Grid Down To Mobile

Skeleton has a familiar, lightweight 960 grid as its base, but elegantly scales down to downsized browser windows, tablets, mobile phones (in landscape and portrait). Go ahead, resize this page!

responsive
Fast to Start

Skeleton is a tool for rapid development. Get started fast with CSS best practices, a well-structured grid that makes mobile consideration easy, an organized file structure and super basic UI elements like lightly styled forms, buttons, tabs and more.

responsive
Style Agnostic

Skeleton is not a UI framework. It's a development kit that provides the most basic styles as a foundation, but is ready to adopt whatever your design or style is.

Two Item Grid

Skeleton's base grid is a variation of the 960 grid system. The syntax is simple and it's effective cross browser, but the awesome part is that it also has the flexibility to go mobile like a champ. Go ahead, resize the browser and watch as the layout reacts!

Typography

The typography of Skeleton is designed to create a strong hierarchy with basic styles. The primary font is the classic Helvetica Neue, but the font stack can be easily changed with just a couple adjustments. Regular paragraphs are set at a 14px base with 21px line height.

Heading <h1>

Heading <h2>

Heading <h3>

Heading <h4>

Heading <h5>
Heading <h6>

This is a blockquote style example. It stands out, but is awesome

Buttons

Buttons are intended for action and thus should have appropriate weight. The standard button is given that weight with a little bit of depth and a strong hover.

Forms

Forms can be one of the biggest pains for web developers, but just use these dead simple styles and you should be good to go.

Media Queries

Skeleton uses a lot of media queries to serve the scalable grid, but also for the convenience of styling your site on different size screens. Skeleton's media queries are almost exclusively targeted at max and min widths rather than device sizes or orientations. The advantage of this is browsers and future mobile devices that don't map to exact set dimensions will still benefit from the styles. That being said, all of the queries were written to be optimal on Apple iOS devices. The built in media queries include:

  • Smaller than 960: Smaller than the standard base grid
  • Tablet Portrait: Between 768px and 959px
  • All Mobile Sizes: Less than 767px
  • Just Mobile Landscape: Between 480px and 767px
  • Just Mobile Portrait: Less than 479px
